Default my austone taxi tire saved me from going down on freeway at 75mph

Was going down I 64 through Louisville ky and just cruising along a sudden accident right in front of me left me no choice but to sway suddenly to the left **** was flying off cars I was in the grass and running around 60 mph at this point I counter steered toward the road and when getting back on freeway hit two pot holes right away !! It all happened in about 5 seconds but felt like a hour !!! I stopped and ran back to the cars and they were on the side of road no one hurt and a off duty cop was on scene and said he was two cars behind me and said he never seen a motorcycle throw rooster tails 4 or 5 feet in the air behind it and come back after he saw what I did he pointed back at the spot where I was off road and you could see the violent sudden moves I made off road and I looked at him and said I have a car tire on the rear he looked at it and smiled and said thank god and thank that tire for not losing grip or it could have been bad !! Then I felt my shaking and I just smiled ! So all you haters on car tires can kiss my *** im never going back to a mc tire !!

First of all, glad yer okay!!!! Secondly, can ya tell me what ya ride, and what you've done to make yer Austone work? I put one on yesterday, but I can't run over 70, and even that's a stretch.
